Definition
发泄 (fā xiè) means to vent or give vent to one's feelings, especially negative emotions like anger, stress, or frustration, often in a forceful or uncontrolled way. It is more intense and less formal than 宣泄 (xuān xiè), which is broader and more deliberate. 抒情 (shū qíng) is different: it refers to expressing emotions lyrically or artistically, not venting.
